Six Senses Maxwell will open its doors in Singapore come December

In the heart of buzzing Tanjong Pagar, Six Senses Maxwell transforms a heritage building into a charming bolthole of European flair

When Six Senses Duxton opened its doors a few months ago, it proved to be one of the city’s most eclectic boutique hotels with bold, enigmatic interiors steeped in local heritage – thanks to the eccentric works of British designer Anouska Hempel. Its sister property, Six Senses Maxwell, slated to open on 1 December 2018, will tell a different tale altogether.

The building rooftop will feature an edible garden and a 25-metre lap pool

Just a mere five-minute walk from Six Senses Duxton, the 138-key hotel occupies a colonial-style 19th century heritage building that received the Urban Redevelopment Authority Architectural Heritage Award. The restoration of the building is helmed by Parisian architect and designer Jacques Garcia, whose artistic portfolio spans properties such as Hotel Costes Paris, The NoMad New York City and L’oscar London.

Six Senses Maxwell stands in stark contrast to Six Senses Duxton, and we’re not just talking about size. Here, bright and airy spaces are accentuated with European-style interiors that are given a contemporary touch. Garcia’s distinctive baroque flair is palpable across the seven unique room categories of the hotel — from brass, lacquer and marble mini bars to the handmade Lafroy Brooks bathroom fixtures.
